ok cool thanks. it also says on the cover that it is only a sample, and that mark allocations may vary. does that mean that all the information on the cover is not accurate? is that the actual cover page, or is it just a sample? it says on the cover that the exam is 23 pages long. is that the actual length of the real exam?
* sorry for the 30,000 questions

haha, well for the science exams I think it's a fairly accurate representation but they say it's a sample so that in case for example, the real exam might have 24 pages, people can't go blaming VCAA :P
Another example: For English language, in 2009 although the sample cover said there were 3 essay questions there were only 2..
So my point is, don't panic in the real exam if there are minor changes  :P It is as VCAA says "a sample" and they have all rights to change it..

For the chem exam the front cover released specified that it would be marked out of 77. Actual thing was out of 75.
